BYE-bye sunny sky.

Welcome to oil paint on canvas approach number two. Due to how long my first attempt, my flower girl took me to finish, I downsized my canvas quite a bit for this one. The colors for this one were pretty fun to work with. There was a lot of mixing involved, & getting the sky to gradually get darker & darker was quite a task. It's a piece that symbolizes how quickly times of happiness can turn to times of dismay, sometimes by the loss of just one thing.
"Loss is nothing else but change,
& change is Nature's delight."
-Marcus Aurelius

    1. Me too, Ronnie! Too often change is something that's feared, when most of the time it should just simply be embraced.

    1. Thanks, Erin! At some point I'd like to learn how to create oil paintings that have a more realistic feel, but for my second attempt I'm pretty happy with it.
